Picture yourself sitting on a terrace in Paris (Hey, that rhymed.) with a little bowl of lime sorbet. That’s the vibe we’re getting for 2020.

What’s more beautiful than a sunset? For 2020, designers have taken it to the next level and added all the prettiest warm hues to their clothes.

If you thought neon was going anywhere, you’d be mistaken. Spring/Summer 2020 is sure to be full of this bright and fun trend.

I’m honestly not sure if tie-dye technically counts as a color, but you can be sure to expect a lot of it in 2020—especially in variations of red and blue hues.

There’s something to be said for dressing like an entire stick of butter: It’s hella cute. Slick, sleek and salty are 2020 vibes to expect.

Lavender for spring 2020 is something about which I’m so excited. The color is subtly romantic, but unique enough to make you feel like a sartorial queen.
